Act of Betrayal by Edna Buchanan

As Miami journalist Britt Montero probes the bombing murder of a TV commentator, she meets Alex Reyes, an ex-prisoner of Castro, and uncovers a series of mysteriously missing boys and the man responsible for her father's execution by a Cuban firing squad thirty years earlier.

Edna Buchanan knows firsthand that underneath Miami's glistening facade lies a city torn by violence and muddied by corruption, where every moment a crime is waiting to happen. As a Pulitzer Prize-winning crime reporter, Buchanan has exposed the seamier sides of this sun-drenched paradise, then used her more than twenty years of experience to create a dynamic and deadly Miami that vividly comes alive in each of her novels. Especially when the city is seen through the fiercely intense eyes of a tough newspaperwoman named Britt Montero. The author of eleven books, Buchanan has spent time behind bars -- with two serial killers. She lives in Miami, Florida.

Kirkus Reviews

There's the bombing execution of Cuban TV-commentator Alex Aguirre, the disappearance of teenager Charles Randolph, and the order from on high to interview Castro-hating businessman Juan Carlos Reyes, who's never liked either Britt or the Miami News.
